ing how the Court don't do it. The Septem-
Der Docket, 1886, contains 34S cases not dis
posed of. Many of those of preceding dock
cts are not on this one. Thirty-four of these
cases are marked Continued. not to be
brought forward unless by special order of
the Court" The Docket January term,
1887, contains 1873 cases not disposed of; 80
Of them are marked continued, not to be
brought forward unless by special order of
the court" The Docket for May term, 1887,
contains 34S cases not disposed of, 80 of
which are marked in that same wonderful
way. What would be thought of it if cases
OF robbery, burglary, incendiarism, murder
were to be continued, not to be brought
forward unless by special order of court2"
There must be remedy for this some day,
or the administration of the law will become
a farce.
The original Maine law left no discretion
to the courts, which were expressly forbid
den to diminish the penalties of fine and i'm
prisonment in any way. The cases were not
to be continued for trial or sentence, but
were to take precedence in the county of all
other cases, except those in which the par
ties were in Jail awaiting trial. At the end
OF the first year of the Maine law the liquor
traffic was reduced to lower proportions than
It has to-day; and this arises largely from
the discretion permitted to the courts, and
the still larger discretion assumed by them
Tor which there is no law, and which we will
have corrected by and by. The discretion of
the courts with most judges will always be
exercised in favor of the rumsellers. That
Is our experience
Everybody knows who has any knowledge
Of the matter that prompt administration Of
the law is very important factor in main
tanning law and order in the community.
The practice in some States in the laws de-
laws delay is a scandal to the country, and
tends to foster crime. The papers tell us
recently that after some two years delay
those villains, the dynamiters Of Chicago,
who murdered 6S policemen, have at last
been sentenced to die, and the Judge broke
down and almost cried when pronouncing
their doom, as If they were first class citi-
zens sentenced for unpopular opinions.
The PRESS is mistaken in thinking that
there is in this State any respectable "senti-
mIent, in favor of grog shops or in favor of a
lax administration of the law. i know that
there is sort of sentiment of that kind,
noisy and obtrusive, but it is confined to that
part OF an honorable profession which
thrives upon vice and crime, whose profits
would be nil if the grog shops were entirely
suppressed-as they will be some day.
The Portland daily press., 1887-09-21

sorts of offences, excepting the most heinous.
are found on this docket. The only reason
why rum cases predominant is because the
rum cases far outnumber any other class of
cases that come before the court. Instead
OF being hindrance to the suppression of
the liquor traffic, as Gen. Dow appears to
think, 1t has really been a help. Men have
been kept permanently out of the rum bust
ness by 1t, whom Imprisonment would have
kept out only for the few months they were
IN JAIL There has never been the slightest
evidence that any Of our Judges wereabus-
ing the discretion which immemorial usage
confers on them. If Gen. Dow has such
evidence In his possession his duty is clear;
ne should lay 1t before the Legislature. Un-
less he has such proof it is dishonorable
ana unworthy gentleman Of Gen. Dow's
character and profession to throw out such
insinuations. Gen. Dow knows perfectly
well that the judges Of the Supreme and Su-
perior Courts of Maine are all of them now
entirely above suspicion.
In closing for the present the discussion
with Gen. Dow, we should like to call atten-
ton briefly to number of facts, the truth of
First, we assert that there is no law in the
statute book so well calculated to suppress
the offence against which it is directed as the
prohibitory law. We're perfectly enforced,
Illegal traffic in intoxicating liquors could not
exist
Second, there is no law on the statute book
which has half the machinery to enforce it
with. Aspecial force is created by the Legis-
laturc In every county whose entire business
is to enforce this law; and authority is given
the Governor when this force proves made
quate to create another special force.
Third, to secure the faithful enforcement
Of this law the power to remove county at
torneys was given to the Governor and these
officers were compelled in prosecuting liquor
sellers to allege a previous conviction If one
existed.
Fourth, there Is no law on the statute book
which requires so little evidence to convict
the violator of 1t as the prohibitory law.
The mere fact that man has paid LIQUOR
tax to the United States Is declared by stat
ute to be sufficient
Yet notwithstanding all this machinery.
notwithstanding all these precautions, it is
VIGOROUSLY fact that 10 many places the
enforcement is very lax and in some hardly
worthy of the name. What is the explana-
ton? 1t is that in these places an enersizing
public sentiment is wanting. The officers
are Indifferent because the public is indiffer-
ent. Ii Gen. Dow will discover some way to
supply this want he win have no reason to
complain that the officers are negligent. But
that lack cannot be supplied by substituting
broad axes for hatchets or explosive bullets
for bird shot.

The most important, and also the most
shameless, event of the Democratic State
convention of Massachusetts was the report
of the committee appointed to investigate
the distribution of the federal offices in Mas
sachusetts, otherwise known as the smell
ing committee" This committee have COM
puted, inaccurately as they themselves
confess, that of 4614 federal office holders in
the State 1928 are Republicans. Boldly and
without shame the report avows the prin.
ciple that these offices now held by Republi-
cans, who are tried and veteran officers no
doubt, should be apportioned out to the Dem
ocratic party because the Democratic party
needs them. Collector Saltonstall and Post
master Corse are denounced for holding them
selves and their Offices aloof from the scramble
for spells. The Boston Post, the ablest and
most respectable Democrat paper in New
England, frankly and forcibly condemns this
disgraceful report, comparing it with the DEM
ociatlc State platforms of 1882 and 1884. where
iu the party declared that FITNESS, not favor.
should be the passport to the public service"
that there should be no removals of govern
ment employees before the expiration of their
terms OF service, except for cause" and that
the civil service must be kept free of all
corrupting dependence upon political favor
and patronage"

nothing very extraordinary about the occur

In Portland, was the lucky finder of large

attention was attracted by the metallic APP

the easily made promise that when definite
charges are made against them the President
VIII investigate, and If he finds that his

sitlon he has already taken with reference to
similar instances of disobedience. In the
Baltimore case, for example, the most glar-

planation Tor not even reprinanding Hig-

the PRESIDENT to pursue, it may save him a
